The first two rescue crafts in a series of seven units were delivered from Båtservice Mandal in June and October to Port and Shipping Organisation, Iran.

NAJI 7 og NAJI 8 are built in aluminium, and all the seven vessels will be identical for overlapping purposes for the crew. The boats are built according to DNV's High Speed light craft patrol (R3) regulations.
